In the above pictures number mentioned from 1 to 12 are the placement of Bhavas ( Houses ) in a horoscope. This picture is just a representation of houses. Yet in actual horoscope houses never mentioned by number but we need to remember these places.

In actual Horoscope also you will see numbers. Yet these numbers are the Rashi ( Zodiac Sign ) numbers. We are aware that every Rashi is having a unique number those are 1.Mesh (Aries), 2.Vrish (Tauras), 3.Mithun (Gemini), 4.Kark (Cancer), 5.Singh (Leo), 6.Kanya (Virgo), 7.Tula (Libra), 8.Vrishchak (Scorpio), 9.Dhanu (Saggitarious), 10.Makar (Capricorn), 11.Kumbh (Aquarius) 12.Meen (Pisces). For detailed study of these Rashis, we can refer our Page of Details of Houses ( Bhava ).

Making Of Kundli (Horoscope)

Lagna (Ascendant) is the base for creation of Horoscope. At the time of birth which Zodiac Sign is rising at Eastern Horizon in that particular location of birth is called Lagna Rashi and is placed at House No 1. Subsequently Rashis comes in subsequent houses in sequence.

This is the reason Exact Date , Time and Place of Birth are pre requisite of preparing Kundli.

Illustration

To understand this in details let us take and illustration where we will take an example of birth of a child at particular location.

Birth took place when the Zodiac Sign at East was Kark (Cancer). Thus in his/her first house we will arrange Cancer sign which will be treated as Lagna ( Ascendant ). As we are aware the sequence of Signs arranged in sky, hence next Sign from Cancer is Leo which will be in 2nd house. Subsequently Virgo in 3rd house and so so on.

To understand further below mentioned Rashi arrangement would be there in that particular Horoscope. In kundli number written in any house is always Rashi number, not house number. Hence number written in a house is Rashi number. In picture “4” (number denotes Cancer) number is mentioned in 1st house, which shows in first house Cancer Sign is present. Subsequently other rashis i.e. Leo in 2nd house, Virgo in 3rd, Libra in 4th house and so on as mentioned in picture below.

Rashi arrangements along with pictorial view.
  • House 1  –   Rashi No 4  Kark (Cancer)
  • House 2  –   Rashi No 5  Singh (Leo)
  • House 3  –   Rashi No 6  Kanya (Virgo)
  • House 4  –   Rashi No 7  Tula (Libra)
  • House 5  –   Rashi No 8  Vrishchik (Scorpio)
  • House 6  –   Rashi No 9  Dhanu (Saggitarius)
  • House 7  –   Rashi No 10  Makar (Capricorn)
  • House 8  –   Rashi No 11  Kumbh (Aquarius)
  • House 9  –   Rashi No 12  Meen (Pisces)
  • House 10  –   Rashi No 1  Mesh (Aries)
  • House 11  –   Rashi No 2  Vrish (Taurus)
  • House 12  –   Rashi No 3  Mithun (Gemini)
Kundli Example
Aspect of Angle on Ascendant ( Lagna )

This is just an overview of Kundli. For further more detailing another important aspect comes is the angle of Lagna. As we aware that the rising sign at the birth is Ascendant (Lagna) Sign and the angle at which that Sign was rising is called Lagna degree.

One Rashi can be there in two houses based on the angle of Ascendant. For example in the Chart above if Ascendant angle is 105° ( 3 Rashi + 15° ). It means Lagna is at the canter of Cancer and One Rashi is placed only at one house.

Now imagine a case where Ascendant angle is 115° ( 3 Rashi + 25° ). It means Lagna is at 25° ( 10° towards Leo ). In this case House 1 will have 20° of Cancer and 10° of Leo.

In both the cases above as center of the Lagna house is having Cancer Sign not leo , thus Rashi at lagna will be Kark (Cancer) only.

Placement of Planets in Horoscope

Next step in KundlI making is the placement of Planets (Graha) at each house. This placement is also done on the basis of angle that planet is placed with respect to Earth. For example if Sun is at 236° in the above shared Chart where Ascendant is at Centre of Cancer Sign. It means Sun is at ( 7 Signs + 26° ) and it will be placed 8th Rashi which is at 5th house. In same manner we can place all the planets. To study of these Rashis in details, we can refer our Page of Details of Planets ( Graha ).
